* There are lines of Liver and Spleen on the forehead of the patient, frown-lines. Liver/Spleen lines on the face show weaknesses of the organs. Liver weakness indicates that it is taxed out from rich oily foods, while Spleen is taxed out from eating too much dessert.
* Pulse (which was not taken immediately to allow the patient to settle) shows [[Kapha]] out of balance.
* Thumb does not have a moon, which indicates sluggish metabolism (the patient also has a square tongue). Tongue is big (K). Teeth marks on the tongue show malabsorption. White ama (K).
* __Malabsorption:__ do not do anything while eating. Bring awareness to eating. When you sleep you get a bad breath because you lose consciousness, and the consciousness of parasites and other living beings in your body predominates. Cravings in the body may also be related to parasitic cravings. Lack of awareness weakens digestion.
* The patient's high blood pressure is a Kapha type related to blockage and viscosity of blood, thus it is necessary to reduce salt intake.
* [[Triphala]] is necessary for bowel movement. It is a digestive tonic, detoxifying, rejuvenates energy.
* There is a diagonal crease on the ear which is indicative of high [[cholesterol]] and Kapha in the heart. There is a family history of heart disease. If the crease is evident on both ears then it is a more serious problem.
* [[Chelation Therapy]] is recommended as a detoxifying therapy for the heart condition.
* **Diet:** Must follow Kapha soothing diet, but has to cut off hot and spicy food, as well as sour fruits, to reduce acid belly (no herbs will be subscribed for the acid belly because they may work against the Kapha herbs)
* **Exercise:** Must exercise for 1/2 – 1 hr daily (this comes first, and then following K soothing diet). Exercise generates heat in the flesh and activates cellular fire and facilitates weight loss (the patient has a good digestive [[agni]] but poor [[dhatu agni]] – low [[meda agni]] and [[rakta agni]]).\\ \\

* Take 1 tsp of the above formula with 1 tsp of honey (lekhana) 3 times/day in a cup of hot water.
* The herbs used to treat cholesterol: **Punarnava, Kutki, Manjistha, Guduchi**.
* Custom formula is bitter: __bitter is better when there is P and K in the liver.__\\ \\

**Also:**

* [[Triphala]]: 1/2 tsp (loose stool) or 1 tsp (well shaped stool) or 1 heaped tsp (constipated) in hot water at bedtime on empty stomach.
* [[Shilajit]]: Himalayan mineral. Take 2 tablets twice a day (4 tablets/day). This is to treat the enlarged prostate (K). Also good for the Kidneys (best mineral for the Kidneys). \\ \\
